SANTA!

we saw santa!!!
adley didn't mind at all in fact i got a better picture of just her and santa with our camera before we got kinsley up there
kinsley hated him and they had to work very hard to get her on his lap, some of the pictures were horrible she was twisting and screaming so much. we liked this one because we could still see her face ad still tell she was not happy about it!!!

awesome!

kinsley is hilarious and says awesome all the time for everything! i apparently use this word alot!

kinsley

this girl is getting so smart! today she was pointing out circles all over the house, so strange when she just learns something, i don't feel like i ever teach her anything but i guess i do! she is also counting and trying to sing the abc's all the time. she sings lots of other songs too, like pat a cake, wheels on the bus, and our good night song, etc. my favorite right now tho is her dancing! she actually knows some of the steps from fresh beat band one of the shows she likes to watch. they sing and dance and she knows some steps so funny to watch and she does it randomly thru out the day too. so cute! she is growing up so fast and learning so much, now if we could just use the bathroom!

SISTERS!!!


just a cute adley

kinsley in the pumpkin patch! she didn't quite get the point but had fun running around and pointing out pumpkins!

cute one of kinsley, she loves hats!

painting her pumpkin! this was the first year we could really let her do her pumpkin by herself!!! so much fun

adleys first pumpkin picture, she hated it!

trying to stand up and get out!

daddy and kinlsey cheese and mouse!

kinsley loved halloween, she walked for 2 hrs and i pushed an empty stroller that she refused to get in. we took adley to a few houses but then let her stay in with grandma and grandpa she was tired and it was a very chilly night. kinsley doesn't love the candy which is ok with me! they both looked soo adorable!

DANCE

kinsley has stared dance classes!!! it is a combo of dance and gym. she had a few rough classes but seems to really like it now and even hugs her teacher!

saying tada!


finally letting miss kate touch her!!!


wall sits!

soooo cute!!! love that girl

tickle your toes!

stitches pictures

here are the stitches! she got 3



here is the booboo!

kinsley ended up pulling out 2 of the 3 stitches and then the cut split back open a few times. it is healing now but will probably be an ugly scar.

stitches

kinsley got her first set of stitches. she made it to 2 yrs and 1 week! she fell off her tricycle in the kitchen and split her chin wide open, ended up with 3 stitches and a trip to the ER!! good times! she handled it like a champ tho and doesn't seem to mind them at all today. it was quite a way to start the morning. brandon was leaving for the ER by 8:30 am!

i will post some pics later!

kinsley is 2!

the pics are out of order..but...kinsley is two!!!!!!!
kinsley's party was very nice, just a small gathering and she seemed to have a great time. she loved opening presents this year and ran around showing them all to everyone. it took forever, but she was happy and having fun! the cake however...she loved the birthday song but freaked out about the lighted candles. she didn't want them anywhere near her and she would not blow them out, and then she wouldn't eat any cake, which i know she loves. but oh well!!!

i still can't believe she is two. she is getting bigger and smarter everyday. she know soooo much now and talks about everything. i swear everyday she says a new word i didn't even know she knew. she loves all kinds of animals and points them out in the car and on walks all the time. she plays very nice with her blocks, book, stuffed animals and baby dolls. those are her favorites right now. she can sit for along time reading books or looking at her ABC cards and saying all the pictures. so crazy what she knows.

kinsley can follow a 2 or 3 step direction with out a problem, that is if she wants too!! she has quite the temper and her fits are loud! she tries to hit but not hard and we are finding ignoring that works best, except when she hits adley that is straight to time out no warnings, its just not a fair fight! i have a feeling adley will be able to kick kinsley's but when she gets older. kinsley is actually pretty cautious and even shy sometimes, and once she is hit back she tends to back off, although she does have her moments of full on attack!

she is starting to count to 10, and repeat letter sounds and names, she loves to "watch" tv and asks all the time for her shows. "watch mommy" or "Pets" one of her favorite shows. she can say full sentences also with 3 or 4 words.

she is in dance now and that is going well, she had a few classes of just screaming but she is getting much better at going in and doing the class. and she looks adorable in her leotards!

probably alot i am missing but over all she is my baby girl and i wish she would slow down! we love her to pieces, so indescribable! she is so loving and cuddles with the best of them. such a sweetie and such a bull all wrapped up in one! a sweet little bull in the china shop!

ok pics!
loving her tent the day after her party!



adley joining in on the fun!


crying because of the candles!

going to town on the presents!!!!

of course getting as cute picture of just kinsley is almost impossible, she isn't still long enough!

2 yr appt

we had kinsley's 2 yr appt today. she is 29 lbs, 34.5 inches. in the 75th percentile! she checked out great. the dr does an ASQ at age two to check all areas of development, its just questions i answer about what she is or isn't doing. she scored above age level in communication and social, and low in gross motor, mostly due to jumping and stairs, and the other areas she was age appropriate. she got two shots and cried but the sticker made it all better!

-talks all the time, putting 2, 3, and sometimes 4 words together.
-labels everything
-sometimes it is hard to understand her but with context clues you can figure it out
-still in HMG for OT
-east like a grown man
-throws great temper tantrums with hitting screaming, head banging, you name it she does it, but they don't last long
-runs like crazy, her energy never stops
-so sweet to her sister and helps mommy all the time
-overall she is an amazing 2 yr old!!!!!!


we have her party on saturday, its a small get together but i am sure she will love it. she has been practicing the happy birthday song and blowing out candles!!!

poop on the potty

kinsley actually pooped on the potty this morning!!! she asked to go so we did and she went!!!! it was a very exciting moment, although i am not sure when it will ever happen again!!

milk

well, kinsley loves milk!!! she asks for it and drinks it like crazy. she never wanted much to do with it when we would thicken it so she didn't get it much, the thickener must have changed it just enough for her to not like it. well she is boosting that calcium now!!!

real water!

so far so good, day one has gone great! only a few coughs but nothing major. i am so excited this was my biggest concern lately so it is so nice to have it all better. and how cool to be able to get her a drink from any sink at any house or store, or restaurant..i have never experienced this!!! she could get a happy meal now, i never get them because i waste the drink...like a whole new world to discover.

now if she can keep up the good work at ot her left arm should continue to catch up, it is still slightly weaker, and her sensory needs are still an issue, but they are minor on the scale so i am not worried about it!

looks like we will have to eventually pay for preschool...we will see what her speech does but so far she is appropriate i think with her sounds.

swallow study

no more thickener!!!!! yeah, kinsley passed the swallow study, she didn't aspirate anything! so now we can just give her normal liquids. they did say she may cough alittle but that is normal, even grown ups do, but coughing is good since it clears her lungs.

kinsley

well little miss kinsley isn't so little anymore. in 24 days she will be 2!!!! yikes! i haven't said much about her lately other then big sister comments. she is a crazy talker and has a lot to say, i swear she has new words everyday. sometimes she is still hard to understand but with context clues you can usually figure it out. one funny thing she does is she says "deets" for thank you, its funny because i made up a word for thank you also when i was little...weird! she is full of energy and usually a very sweet girl. she has started dance and swimming starts next week! she is on a waiting list for the HMG preschool, i doubt she will get in, but oh well, it would have been cool but she will go next year anyways, it just won't be free!!!

here's some pics!!
having a blast on the slide, finally she will slide down the slide the right way, she loves it! daddy worked so hard on the swing set for the girls!! they both love to swing too!!!


wearing daddy's shirt!!!!


she rode a horse at the zoo!!! 1st time and she seemed to like it, to tears anyways and she held on the whole time!!!!! i was so excited.

last time she hated the petting zoo, this time she hugged the goats, she also petted and brushed them and was pissed when we left.

getting ready for dance...soo stinkin cute! she did well the first day but cried the second day, but after brandon left the room she was fine...she was super tired that day too, so hopefully it will go well!!!

sisters!

kinsley is such a sweet sister, she loves talking and playing with adley. still rough at times but she means well!



kinsley always lays with adley in the play mat.
